Elena cringed when she heard her boss’s voice. He didn’t sound happy—not that Vladimir ever did, but this time it seemed worse. She had an idea what had made the man so upset. She called him back straight away, deciding against prolonging the lecture. Best to get it over with so she could focus on Dmitry and getting him out of his current predicament. Then there was Lucas, something else she couldn’t hold off any longer. She needed to hash out their relationship—if they had one. She needed to know once and for all if he still wanted her or if she’d lost her chance. She feared that the most. She had no one but herself to blame if Lucas had finally given up waiting for her and moved on. She felt tears burn in her eyes at the thought, and swallowed the lump in her throat.

She desperately needed to know the answer to her many questions. The not knowing only made things worse.

“Tell me you are not in Washington sticking your nose in their business,” Vladimir Mishkin said instantly once the call connected.

“You’ve heard?” she asked, surprised. Her boss wasn’t usually interested in foreign affairs. If it wasn’t happening in Russia, he didn’t hear about it.

“That your brother is wanted by American authorities for hacking into a secure government site?” he retorted. “Yes, I know, and I think you should leave this to your American friend to handle and get yourself back here on the next plane.”

“You know I can’t do that. I won’t leave my brother to his fate.”

She knew he’d be sent to Guantánamo Bay as a terrorist if caught, and she might never see him again. She would break any law to keep that from happening.

“You know I don’t condone this kind of lone ranger behavior,” Vladimir said. He always followed the rules, and at one time, so had she. Things changed when she met Lucas. “I gave you leeway last time due to unforeseeable circumstances,” he continued, “but if you’re not on a plane within twenty-four hours—”

“I understand, sir. If you don’t see me in forty-eight hours, you won’t see me at all.”

She hung up and turned off the phone. She didn’t want Director Mishkin calling her back, especially if she was unprepared to give him answers. She had dismissed his warning. It would take as long as it took, and she wouldn’t leave Washington without her brother.
